When you see this, post a snippet of your WIP
“Jesus, finally at my car. It’s been a long day.”
She saw Diana startle a bit, as if pulled from a train of thought, but she was glad of it. She grasped her trunk and hoisted up to swing her gym bag in the back before slamming it down again.
“Where’s your car, by the way?”
“Oh”, Diana looked around the parking lot, almost confused, “um, I guess it’s back near the front.”
“The front? Why didn’t you just tell me to bug off and good night rather than walk all the way back here with me?”
Diana looked uncomfortable and Olivia could tell she was struggling to say why she’d walked all the way to the back of the gigantic, mostly empty lot with her when she could have just been in her car and probably halfway home by now. “It doesn’t matter. Get in and I’ll drive you to the front.”
“I can walk. It’s not a big deal”, Diana shrugged.
“You know, your obstinance is going to get really annoying, really fast. You’re not walking across a jumbo deserted lot by yourself when it’s this dark outside. Get in.”
She could see Diana roll eyes but she still rounded the car to the other side and popped the door open.
“Do you always get your way?” Diana asked as they climbed inside and shut the doors in perfect unison.
“That depends”, Olivia said with a light tone as she extended the seatbelt and clicked it into place, jabbing the keys in the ignition and twisting, “do you like me now?”
She looked over and saw a small smirk spreading across the rounded face of the girl beside her.
“Well then”, Olivia shrugged, “I guess I don’t always get what I want. Santa Claus really needs to be notified. Christmas is gonna suck this year.”
Diana laughed. An honest laugh. Olivia was startled at the sound of it, feeling her eyes grow wide. It was loud and had a squeak to it and was over too soon. She wanted to know how she could get the girl sat beside her to make that sound again.
